Laurel Watt, AEA actor, commercials & films“For my money, Aaron is the best acting teacher in Seattle. His classes are fun and nurturing, but tough. He sharpens the actor’s skills, and all but obliterates bad habits. I highly recommend his class.” –
Michael Black, AEA stage actor“Whether it’s a scene from Chekhov or copy for a toothpaste commercial, Aaron will give you useful, creative, and practical insight. He also helped me to find fantastic material for auditions that were critical in helping me stand out.” –
Debra Pralle, AEA stage actor, films, television & voice-overs“Aaron has an excellent eye for what’s going on in a scene or monologue and his suggestions for what I have needed to work on have always been fruitful. He is also a great source of interesting audition monologues.” –
David Klein, AEA stage actor, commercials & films“Aaron has brought my acting to a new level, giving me new skills ranging from rehearsal, audition to performance. He challenges his students, always pushing for more, while maintaining a caring, safe practical space.” –
